I want to stand up and say, "I am where I am and it is good." To me that feels like a statement with the least resistance and most surrender to this moment. If my present is a product of the past, and my future outcome determined by the present, I really cannot do anything but accept where I am. By accept, I dont mean being passive and silent suffering. Surrender is a state of making peace with the present moment while feeling free to desire and work towards whats wanted. Granted its hard to be that way all the time, but its very liberating and deeply fulfilling to acknowledge when that nugget of a moment presents itself and you are just content to breathe in and out and are organically self-sufficient.
The opposite of surrender, in my understanding, amounts to a feeling of stress, where you are in one place, but you want to be somewhere else and the discord of separation tears you apart. It could also amount to worry without an option of action. (we all know what feels like).
Anyways, my statement for the day is, "I am where I am and it is good."
